Definitions
- the invention concerns a screw cap for closure of a container mouth according to the preamble to claim 1.
- screw caps are mostly manufactured in one piece by the injection molding method.
- the actual screw cap comprises sheet aluminium, for example, and the anti-tamper strip is connected to the screw cap as a separate component.
- Such caps are used mainly in the beverage industry. Because of predetermined bottling-plant speeds, which are constantly increasing, there is an ever decreasing time allowed for screwing on screw caps during closure of bottles.
- a screw cap which, adjacent to the vertical nominal rupture point, contains at least one relief aperture.
- the relief aperture serves the purpose of creating greater in anti-tamper strip elasticity for the closure sequence.
- the relief aperture must be of such large dimension that the anti-tamper strip is able to elastically expand also during opening, as a result of which the retaining element can, in certain cases, lift over the complementary protrusion on the bottle neck without the anti-tamper strip being subjected to rupturing.
- the purpose of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the state of the art, and thus in particular to create a screw cap of the type mentioned in the introduction with which, during closure of the container opening, the anti-tamper strip can expand at the nominal rupture point without damage, however with no expansion occurring during initial screwing off which could inhibit the guarantee function.
- this purpose is fulfilled with a screw cap possessing the features of the patent claims.
- a relief zone is mainly used adjacent to the nominal rupture point of the anti-tamper strip, the stretchability of which increases towards the lower edge of the anti-tamper strip.
- Raising the stretchability thus also at the same time permits variable stretchability, for example by means of restricting the wall thickness, folding of the anti-tamper strip in the region of the relief zone or relief bridges of varying length and/or varying thickness.
- Relief zones which possess the form of a material thinning extending towards the lower edge of the anti-tamper strip have been particularly proven, said regions extending over a portion of the anti-tamper strip. From the point of view of both manufacturing technique and closure properties, approximately triangular relief zones have been proven, the lower side of the triangle coinciding with the lower side of the anti-tamper strip, and the tip of the triangle extending upwards in the direction of the closure cap.
- the triangle is approximately an isosceles triangle, and the angle at its upper tip amounts to 25° and 50 °, and preferably 35°.
- the stretchability of the relief zone should be dimensioned in such a way, with regard to the plastic material used, that expansion of the relief zone is once again reabsorbed after closure of the container. A slight residual expansion can then be tolerated mainly if occurring only in the region of extreme over-dimension, and accordingly within the tolerance limit range of the container outer diameter.
- the relief zone should extend at least over half the height of the anti-tamper strip, in order that the transition from relatively great stretchability at the lower edge of the anti-tamper strip to "zero stretchability" extends over a sufficient distance.
- the anti-tamper strip possesses a circumferential section along which it is connected with the lower edge of the screw cap, it is appropriate if the relief zone is arranged chiefly in the area of the section adjacent to the nominal rupture point, said section not being firmly connected, and in particular behind the nominal rupture point with regard to the direction of screwing on.
- the anti-tamper strip is connected to the cap by nominal rupture bridges around its entire circumference, it is particulary appropriate if at least one relief zone is provided on both sides of the vertical nominal rupture point.
- FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a screw cap with the features of the invention, after screwing onto a bottle neck,
- FIG. 2 a modified embodiment of a screw cap during closure
- FIG. 3 the screw cap accoding to FIG. 2 after closure
- FIG. 4 a modified embodiment of a relief zone on an anti-tamper strip, in enlarged scale
- FIG. 5 a side view of an anti-tamper strip similar to FIG. 3, in enlarged scale
- FIG. 6 a side view from below of the anti-tamper strip according to FIG. 5,
- FIG. 7 a detail in enlarged scale of a further modified embodiment of a relief zone on an anti-tamper strip
- FIG. 8 a side view from below of the anti-tamper strip according to FIG. 7, and
- FIGS. 9 and 10 a side view and a section of a modified relief zone.
- FIG. 1 shows a plastic screw cap 1 with an inside thread 5, said cap serving to close a container mouth 2 possessing an outside thread 6.
- screw caps are prefered for closing bottles containing beverages, returnable glass bottles with a standardised bottle opening normally being concerned. They can also be used with disposable glass or plastic bottles.
- the anti-tamper strip 3 does not remain beneath the bead, since this would cause considerable extra effort when cleaning the bottle. Recycling of plastic bottles will also be facilitated.
- the anti-tamper strip therefore possesses an approximately vertical nominal rupture point 11, said nominal rupture point causing the anti-tamper strip to be separable from the bottle opening and preferably remaining connected with the screw cap.
- the anti-tamper strip 3 comprises a circumferential section 9 which is relatively firmly connected with the lower edge of the cap, and a tearable or not firmly fixed complementary section 10.
- a retaining element in the form of a bead 8 is arranged on the inside 7 of the anti-tamper strip, preferably on the complementary section 10, said retaining element snapping under the bead 4 on the container mouth 2 when screwing on for the first time, and causing the required tension force in order to tear the anti-tamper strip when screwing off for the first time.
- the anti-tamper strip 3 is connected to the lower edge 18 of the cap 1 by means of bridges 20.
- the bridges 20 rupture when opening the cap 1 for the first time, and thus form an approximately horizontal nominal rupture point.
- the vertical nominal rupture point 11 is formed by an upper material bridge 13 and a lower material bridge 14, said lower bridge being arranged on the lower edge 19 of the anti-tamper strip 3.
- the relief zone 12 is formed to be approximately triangular, the lower side of the triangle coinciding with the lower edge 19 of the anti-tamper strip 3. The tip of the triangle points upwards towards the screw cap 1.
- the material of the anti-tamper strip 3 wall is weakened by approximately one third of the wall thickness. In this way, the stretchability is raised without the risk of rupture in the region of the relief zone 12.
- the anti-tamper strip 3 has, in the case of screw caps for the standard commercial 28 mm bottle closures, an overall height of approximately 5 to 7 mm.
- the relief zone 12 extends at least over half the height of the anti-tamper strip. Through arranging the relief zone adjacent to the vertical nominal rupture point 11, in this area the stretchability is raised. Through the triangular form, the stretchability will be greatest in the area of the lower edge 19 of the anti-tamper strip 3. Said stretchability diminishes upwards according to the wedge shape of the relief zone, in accordance with FIG. 1.
- the anti-tamper strip 3 can expand sufficiently in order to avoid rupture of the material bridges 13, 14 during the closing procedure, because the bead 8 is pressed over the bead 4 on the container mouth 2.
- the screw cap is opened for the first time, the upper side of the bead 8 will run up against the lower side of the bead 4 on the container mouth 2.
- Loading of the anti-tamper strip 3 will thus be from above downwards, with practically no increase in stretchability occurring in the upper area due to the wedge shape of the relief zone 12.
- the anti-tamper strip 3 will not expand and the bridges 20 and the material bridges 13 and 14 will rupture, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the relief zone 12 is accommodated on the inside of the anti-tamper strip. It can with advantage also be accommodated on the outside of the anti-tamper strip.
- FIG. 2 shows a modified embodiment of the invention, with which the bridges 20, and thus the horizontal nominal rupture line, run around the entire circumference, in other words therefore, around 360° of the screw cap 1.
- the anti-tamper strip 3 is, in place of a bead 8, equipped in a known way with extensions 8a which can flap inwards, said extensions serving as retaining elements and coordinating with the bead 4 of the container mouth 2.
- a relief zone 11 is provided at each side of the vertical nominal rupture line 12. If, during closure of the bottle (FIG.
- FIG. 4 shows a modified embodiment of a relief zone 12.
- an approximately wedge shaped recess 12a is provided in the anti-tamper strip 3.
- the recess 12a is bridged over by material bridges 30, 31, 32, 33 which are injection molded in one piece, said material bridges running horizontally.
- the material bridges 30 to 33 are of differing thicknesses and lengths so that, under load, they possess varying expansion characteristics. With that, the lowermost material bridge 30 is able to expand the most, so that the protective function for the bridges 13, 14 of material is assured, similar to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show a relief zone 12 with a material thinning of the anti-tamper strip running in a wedge shape, said thinning being approximately 50% of the material thickness.
- the material thinning possesses an open angle of approximately 30°, the lower side of the relief zone coinciding with the lower edge 19 of the anti-tamper strip 3.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show a modified embodiment with which, instead of the material bridges 13 and 14, a thin membrane 34 is provided to form the vertical nominal rupture point 11.
- a relief zone 12 is provide adjacent to the vertical nominal rupture point, said relief zone possessing a corrugated wall section 12a.
- the stretchability of the relief zone 12 is, with that, once again greatest in the area of the lower edge of the anti-tamper strip 3.
- the relief zone 12 will expand in the manner of a bellows so that the load on the membrane 34 is reduced.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 show an embodiment of an anti-tamper strip with modified relief zone 12. With that, FIG. 10 shows a schematic section along the line A--A pertaining to FIG. 9. Insofar as the embodiment in FIG. 9 and 10 corresponds to the embodiment according to FIG. 2 and 3, the same components are designated in the same way.
- two relief zones 12 are provided which possess material thinning 33 running downwards approximately cross-sectionally in the form of a wedge.
- the material thinnings 33 are approximately rectangular. Since the wall thickness of the anti-tamper strip 3 becomes progressively thinner in the downwards direction in the area of the material thinning 33, and the thinnest point is attained in the area of the lower edge 19, the stretchability of the anti-tamper strip will increase progressively in the downward direction, although the relief zone in the side view is not wedged shaped but approximately rectangular.
- the degree of material weakening and the reduction of material can be dimensioned in line with the actual material and the expansion requirements in such a way that the improvement in stretchability during closure can be ensured.
- variants according to FIG. 9 and 10 can be combined with the variants according to FIGS. 1 to 8. This would mean, for example, that with a wedge shaped relief zone according to FIG. 2 or 6, or with a corrugated relief zone according to FIG. 8, a material weakening 33 is additionally provided in order to raise the stretchability of the relief zone in this area.
- each of these sections can possess a thickened bridge for permanent connection with the screw cap, as well as at least one relief zone in the area adjacent to the vertical nominal rupture point.
